[HORIZON EUROPE] ERC Consolidator Grant call 2023 published

The European Research Council (ERC) has launched the call for proposals for its Consolidator Grants 2023.

Deadline is set on 2 February 2023 (17:00).

Call information

Who can apply?

Researchers of any nationality with 7-12 years of experience since completion of PhD (extensions are possible under certain circumstances, see the latest ERC Work Programme), a scientific track record showing great promise and an excellent research proposal

New for the 2023 Starting and Consolidator Grant Calls is the change of the PhD reference date for the calculation of the eligibility period from the date of the actual award according to the national rules of the country where the degree was awarded to the date of the successful PhD defence.

 What proposals are eligible?

  • Applications can be made in any field of research.  The ERC's grants operate on a 'bottom-up' basis without predetermined priorities.
  • Research must be conducted in a public or private research organisation (known as a Host Institution/HI). It could be the HI where the applicant already works, or any other HI located in one of the EU Member States or Associated Countries
  • Applications for an ERC grant must be submitted by a single Principal Investigator (PI) in conjunction with and on behalf of their Host Institution, called the applicant legal entity.
